CLUB AZ’s miserable start to the season continued as they lost their third game in a row, 3-1 to High Lane.

AZ trailed 2-1 at half-time they couldn’t turn the game around in the second half and a third from the visitors’ Jake Getchevsky killed the game.

Jon Blackburn scored for AZ with Luke Campbell and Dave Wilde also netting for High Lane.

Poynton Kings moved into third with a 3-0 victory at Juno United.

Kings’ frontline caused Juno problems all afternoon and led 1-0 at the break minutes but it was a goal early in the second half that broke their resolve.

Kings’ hitmen were Andy Wright, Luke Murray and Jack Butterworth.

Mary Dendy made it three wins in a row and stay top of the ECL after a deserved 3-1 win over Old Alts.

Alts are a stronger team than last season having recruited several of the Vets players and it showed. The visitors took the lead when Dean Dougan scrambled the ball home from a corner. Dendy brought on Chris Hadfield in the second half and he seemed to spark the team to life as, within three minutes, they were level.

Matt Morris volleyed home his fifth of the season before putting Dendy ahead with a free-kick. With five minutes remaining substitute Leon White made the perfect impact as he dispossesed Alts keeper Dave Howden and squared the ball to Hadfield who sealed the victory.

Inter Macc striker Ray Warburton made it five goals in three games as his side condemned Old Alts Youth to back-to-back defeats. Inter’s 2-1 win means they are one of three undefeated clubs. Ross Ewing was on target for Old Alts with Dan Chadwick scoring his first of the season for Inter.

Champions Boarhound have made a perfect start, with three games, three wins and 16 goals into the bargain.

Their opponents Poynton were kicking themselves as they gifted Dave Barratt the opener on 15 minutes and they never fully recovered.

Rick Glen converted a first-half penalty but by half-time Boarhound had the game in the bag as they led 4-1. Four more came in the second half were icing on the cake for the visitors as they completed an 8-1 victory.

Poynton Nomads player-manager Tom Gaskell was left wondering how his side lost 3-1 at home to Wilmslow Sports after dominating play for long periods.

Wilmslow made the most of their three chances, Anthony Mape scoring twice and Sam Bowers adding a third. Mark Toomey hit a last-minute consolation for Nomads.
